A funny cartoon in the Knox

several funny statesmen making
funny remarks would bring tears of
sadness from burnt stump. 1t is

the funny things the funny states

The Lawrence Democrat was ter

Inc Lawrence Democrat was ter
ribly tough ON Bob Taylor last
week. 1t printed the Americans
column of slush which warned peo-
pie TO beware of Bob Taylor be-
cause the republicans praise him
and it argued vehemently that Bob
was necessarily bad man because
the republicans were endorsing him.
And 10! even while it was printing
this inefable nonsense its republi-
can neighbor across the street was
in labor also and it came out loaded
to the guards with abuse Of the gov
ernor. The Union was very I'M
kind thus to slap the Democrats
argument over so lnercilessly. The
Democrat is ably assisted by its re-
publican neighbor in abusing the
democratic governor.

One of the most disgraceful
things of the day was the burning
in effigy of Gov. Taylor by a few
drunken students at Lebanon the
other night. They were masked.
1t is looked upon as disgraceful in
the extreme. 1t is a legitimate
fruit OF the malicious and unholy
war made on the governor by the
American and Littleton's Review.
The republicans are helping the
American with all their might.
They want to split the democrats
and they do not care il the governor
is insulted and outraged. People
are becoming disguised with the
American and its republican allies.
The American quotes from them
every day and it IS cheek by jowl
with Littleton. The American it,
self Is even ashamed to mention the
Lebanon disgrace.

WORDS OF WANAMAKER.

John Wanamaker, the great Phil
adelphia merchant, recently spoke
these words concerning advertising,
They assert what with us has long
been a clear conviction:
"My plan for fifteen years has been
to buy so much space in a newspa-
per and fill it up with what | wanted.
I would not give an advertisement
in a newspaper of 400 circulation for
5000 dodgers or posters. If | want
ed to sell cheap jewelry or run a lot
terry scheme [ might use posters,
but would not insult a decent read
ing public with hand bills. The
class Of people who read such things
are poor material to look to for sup
port in mercantile affairs. Ideal d.
rectly with the publisher. | say to
him: How long will you let me run
two columns of matter through your
paper for 500 or $50 as the case
may be? l let him do the figuring,
and if | think he is not trying to
take more than his share | give him
the copy. lay aside the profit Of a
particular line Of goods for advertis-
ingpurposes. The first year laid aside
$4,000; last year [ laid aside $4,000.

shall increase that sum as the profits

give a certain profit Of my yearly

Business failures, but this desire to own a

a few days ago that the bank at Russell

NEWSPAPER BOYS in small towns

NEWSPAPER boys in small towns
are, to great extent, excusable for fish

very nature of things, Collyer viii grow
